Congratulations on your achievements. In a nutshell, yes you definitely have the initial makings on paper of a top candidate. Don't worry about the actual amount of time you have logged on the calendar for your startup. The fact that it was a startup will indicate that you put in way more work than you probably would have at a regular job. Sell this angle in your essays (it's not the age, it's the mileage). Because you have demonstrable results (sales) and tangilble revenues you have the proof of the pudding and will stand out among other "entrepreneurs" with lesser results. Your GMAT proves your ability to handle the academics (along with your GPA and any top school will enjoy adding a high 7-handle GMAT score to their stats. As long as you can build a good argument for why you need the MBA and why now is the right time, you should have a really good shot at schools which value entrepreneurship. Good luck.
